Reunion will have to wait, Lowry listed out for 'personal reasons' versus RaptorsMIAMI - The Toronto Raptorsā much-anticipated reunion with Kyle Lowry will have to wait a few weeks.
Jrue Holiday - Won't play MondayHoliday (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Hawks.
ImpactHoliday will miss his sixth straight game due to left ankle soreness. In his absence, George Hill, Grayson Allen and Donte DiVincenzo will likely be the primary beneficiaries. Holiday's next chance to return will be Wednesday against the Grizzlies.

Goran Dragic - Still on personal leaveDragic (personal) remains out for Monday's game in Miami, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ImpactThe Raptors haven't commented on Dragic's situation since he left the team Dec. 26 to tend to a personal matter, but he's most likely played his last game with Toronto. The veteran guard hadn't appeared in any games since Nov. 13 and wasn't on track to join the rotation at any point in the near future. If Dragic does elect to resume playing this season, Toronto will presumably waive him and allow him to find an opportunity elsewhere.

Khris Middleton - Multi-category contribution in lossMiddleton accumulated 16 points (3-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 103-96 loss to the Raptors.
ImpactMiddleton weathered a poor night of shooting by making an impact in every secondary category. His 16-point effort was his lowest total in almost two weeks. Otherwise, Middleton is a freakishly consistent scorer with a reliable floor. He's scored below 20 points only 14 times this season.

Grayson Allen - Pours in 18 points in startAllen recorded 18 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 103-96 loss to Toronto.
ImpactAllen turned in another solid game after returning from a four-game absence. Increased production should be expected from Allen as long as Jrue Holiday (ankle) is sidelined.
